• Yang Jian arrived at the renovated sales office that Zhang Xiangui had turned into a villa, and Jiang Yan rushed inside while Yang Jian prepared to carry in the remaining belongings.

Jiang Yan explored Yang Jian’s villa, mistook Zhang Wei for Yang Jian’s father, and learned that Zhang Wei was staying there despite a ghost haunting the house.

• Yang Jian remembered that Zhang Liqin might not know about the danger and left to find her, while Jiang Yan waited in bed.

Yang Jian warned Zhang Liqin that the covered mirrors in the building concealed a ghost and checked that she was still alive. After an awkward exchange turned flirtatious, he carried her into a room.

Yang Jian investigated Guangjiang Residential Area for signs of a paranormal incident and sensed something unusual about an abandoned, windowless Republican Era house. After learning that an old man had died there over forty years earlier, Yang Jian decided to investigate the house himself with Zhang Wei.

• Yang Jian searched the residential area with Zhang Xiangui and the others but found no signs of anything unusual until they reached the abandoned land at the back.
• Yang Jian sensed a disturbance from an old gray-brick house, and Zhang Xiangui explained that the plot belonged to President Qin and had been left undeveloped over an ownership dispute.
• Yang Jian stopped the patrol cars and discovered that the two-story house had never had any windows.
• Yang Jian told Jiang Yan that the house was probably haunted and said Zhang Wei would accompany him inside because a ghost was following Zhang Wei.
• Zhang Xiangui learned from relocated villagers that an old man had lived in the house, died of illness over forty years earlier, and was buried by the villagers before the house was locked and abandoned.
• Yang Jian decided to investigate the house himself.

Yang Jian and Zhang Wei investigated an abandoned house after Yang Jian sensed a supernatural threat inside. On the second floor, Yang Jian found three unusual sealed rooms and began questioning what they had been built to contain.

• Yang Jian and Zhang Wei entered the overgrown house, and Yang Jian sensed something unsettling on the second floor.
• Two livestreamers appeared in the house, and Zhang Wei chased and beat Brother Hu after recognizing him.
• Yang Jian found a gold door concealed beneath rusted iron sheeting and suspected the rooms had been built to contain something dangerous.
• Yang Jian examined a thick copper door and an unlocked wooden door, then found that the wooden room was only about five square meters inside.
• Yang Jian reconsidered his theory that the rooms had imprisoned ghosts and wondered whether they had held something else.

Yang Jian discovered that the mirror in the first room was a dangerous supernatural object containing many ghosts, though he suspected the residence’s builder had preserved it for a purpose. He left the room to deal with Zhang Wei and Brother Hu, who were still fighting downstairs.

• Yang Jian entered the first room and found a mirror that did not reflect him, along with tools and clues linking it to missing construction workers.
• Yang Jian reasoned that workers had entered through a drilled hole, moved the mirror, and tried to break into the room behind the bronze door.
• Yang Jian touched the mirror and felt several hands inside grab his arm, leaving bluish palm prints before he pulled free.
• Yang Jian concluded that the mirror contained many ghosts and decided the residence’s builder had intended it to be useful to future generations.
• After Zhang Wei called for help, Yang Jian left the room and found Zhang Wei and Brother Hu rolling around and fighting while Brother Hu’s lackey livestreamed them.

Yang Jian intervened when Zhang Wei fought livestreamer Brother Hu, then used his pistol to stop Brother Hu from attacking with a stick. He revealed on the livestream that he was Dachang City's person in charge and a Ghost Tamer.

• Zhang Wei called Yang Jian for help while fighting Brother Hu, who had livestreamed Zhang Wei taking a dump.
• Yang Jian tried to calm Brother Hu, but Brother Hu grabbed a stick and charged at him while Zhang Wei backed away.
• Yang Jian fired his pistol at the stick, shattering it and frightening Brother Hu into kneeling and begging for mercy.
• Yang Jian had Brother Hu's lackey point the livestream phone at him and announced that he was Dachang City's person in charge and a Ghost Tamer.

Yang Jian punished Brother Hu through Zhang Wei’s livestream, then took Zhang Wei to the second floor to investigate the ghost following him. He traced the ghost’s appearance to the Ghost Mirror and waited for it to return, where the chapter left them facing its pale arm in the reflection.

• Yang Jian ended his livestream, but Zhang Wei took over and forced Brother Hu to publicly humiliate himself as revenge for secretly filming him.
• After Brother Hu fled, Yang Jian told Zhang Wei he had found the source of the ghost following him and brought him upstairs.
• Yang Jian connected Zhang Wei’s earlier incident at the construction site to the Ghost Mirror’s position and the distant building visible through a hole in the wall.
• Yang Jian told Zhang Wei to stand before the Ghost Mirror, but Zhang Wei’s reflection did not appear.
• A pale arm emerged in the mirror, and Yang Jian told Zhang Wei to stay still while the ghost approached.

Yang Jian tested the Ghost Mirror with Zhang Wei and discovered that the ghost tied to him could be trapped inside when no other mirror served as a way out. He left with the mirror, warned Zhang Xiangui that Zhang Wei’s connection to the ghost remained, and urged him to repair and conceal the old house.

• Yang Jian had Zhang Wei stand before the Ghost Mirror and watched the ghost imitate Zhang Wei’s elaborate hand signs.
• Yang Jian sent Zhang Wei away and found that the ghost remained inside the mirror, concluding that it needed another mirror to escape.
• Yang Jian covered the mirror with oilcloth and carried it away, resolving to consult the human-skin paper and keep the old house’s sealed rooms undisturbed.
• Yang Jian told Zhang Xiangui that Zhang Wei was safe for now but still connected to the ghost, and advised repairing the old house without opening its second-floor rooms.
• Zhang Xiangui agreed to supervise repairs and proposed building a temple around the old house; Yang Jian warned Zhang Wei’s uncle not to touch the mirror and said the construction site could reopen.

Yang Jian settled into his new home, stocked up on supernatural tools, and confirmed that the ghost inside the ghost mirror could not escape unless another mirror reflected it. Uneasy about the old residence’s three rooms, he questioned the human skin paper, but it only repeated what he already knew.

• Yang Jian told Jiang Yan that he owned forty percent of the residential complex and assigned her to work as an accountant at Zhang Xiangui’s sales office.
• Over the next three days, Yang Jian spent nearly sixty million on tools, vehicles, furniture, and supplies while Zhang Xiangui oversaw repairs to the old residence.
• Yang Jian confirmed that the ghost in the ghost mirror did not follow Zhang Wei and could transfer out only if another mirror reflected it.
• Yang Jian brought the human skin paper out of its golden box and asked what the ghost mirror and the other two rooms in the old residence were.
• The human skin paper described finding the ghost mirror in the third room but provided no information Yang Jian did not already know.

Yang Jian learned that the ghost mirror could bring back the dead at the cost of releasing a ghost, while the parchment warned him against opening two rooms in the old house. Meanwhile, Wang Xiaoqiang arrived at Yang Jian’s residence with Ye Feng and a dangerous supernatural object, intending to kill him.

• The parchment revealed that the ghost mirror could resurrect the dead in a limited sense, but doing so would release a ghost from inside it.
• The parchment warned Yang Jian that opening the other two rooms in the old house could unleash a terrible disaster, but he suspected it was trying to mislead him.
• Wang Xiaoqiang arrived outside Guangjiang Residential Area with Ye Feng and said he had brought an item from the research institute to help deal with Yang Jian.
• Wang Xiaoqiang showed Ye Feng a withered, distorted finger, a dangerous derivative of the ghost candle, and declared that Yang Jian would die.
• Wang Xiaoqiang and his group entered Guangjiang Residential Area openly to carry out their operation.

Wang Xiaoqiang and Ye Feng sent a trained team into Guangjiang Residential Area to find and kill Yang Jian before he could be alerted. The hunt began to unravel when Zhang Wei exposed the team’s presence and shot Ah Hai, while the surviving operatives prepared to continue their plan.

• Wang Xiaoqiang ordered his operatives to locate Yang Jian quietly and kill anyone who might reveal their mission, while Ye Feng stayed back to avoid a direct confrontation.
• Daisy and Kong Feng questioned the sales office staff and learned that Yang Jian was likely at the former sales office, now a manor villa.
• Jiang Yan suspected the visitors were trouble but dismissed her concerns and returned to work.
• Zhang Wei livestreamed as he followed Kong Feng’s group, so Kong Feng ordered Ah Hai to stop him.
• Ah Hai smashed Zhang Wei’s phone, stabbed him in the neck, and dragged him into the greenery, but Zhang Wei came back with a handgun and shot Ah Hai several times before collapsing again.
• Kong Feng concluded that Ah Hai could not be saved and ordered the others to hide the body and proceed with the Three-Stage Hunt Plan.

Yang Jian pulled Zhang Wei alive out of the Ghost Mirror and learned that the mirror had resurrected an earlier version of him at the cost of releasing a ghost. After hearing gunshots in the residential complex, Yang Jian sent Zhang Wei to hide and left to investigate.

• Yang Jian saw Zhang Wei struggling to escape the Ghost Mirror and grabbed his arm as the mirror's hands dragged him back.
• Yang Jian used his Ghost Eye and ghostly shadow to overcome the mirror's resistance and pull Zhang Wei out.
• Yang Jian confirmed Zhang Wei was alive, then read the human-skin paper's account that the mirror had resurrected Zhang Wei from the time he first looked into it.
• Yang Jian warned Zhang Wei to hide and stay away from the mirror, then left to investigate the gunshots.

Yang Jian survived a coordinated assassination attempt and slaughtered Kong Feng’s team inside his Ghost Domain. Wang Xiaoqiang used a withered finger to restrain the domain, bringing Ye Feng face-to-face with Yang Jian as the chapter ended.

• Kong Feng’s snipers fired at Yang Jian as he left the villa, but Yang Jian vanished into his Ghost Domain and appeared behind the first two operatives, killing them.
• Yang Jian entered Kong Feng’s group’s position, survived a quick-draw shooter’s attack by reappearing behind him, and drew the remaining operatives into his Ghost Domain.
• Kong Feng ordered the second-stage plan and tried to escape through golden smoke, but Yang Jian engulfed the group in his Ghost Domain and killed most of them, including Kong Feng and Daisy.
• Wang Xiaoqiang told Ye Feng that the operation had failed and asked him to restrain Yang Jian’s Ghost Domain; Ye Feng agreed and jumped from the roof.
• Wang Xiaoqiang drove a withered finger into the ground, making the Ghost Domain reappear and shrink as he dragged the finger away.
• Yang Jian confronted Wang Xiaoqiang, but Ye Feng intervened, and Yang Jian recognized him as a Ghost Tamer who controlled two ghosts.

Yang Jian confronted Ye Feng, who had secretly used the conversation to help Wang Xiaoqiang restrain Yang Jian’s Ghost Domain. Yang Jian attacked Wang Xiaoqiang, but Ye Feng stopped him by revealing the eerie burial garment that protected him from ghostly attacks.

• Ye Feng tried to persuade Yang Jian to rejoin the Xiaoqiang Club, but Yang Jian refused and vowed to kill him, Wang Xiaoqiang, and Zhao Kaiming.
• Yang Jian realized Wang Xiaoqiang’s withered finger was restricting his Ghost Domain and appeared beside Wang Xiaoqiang to attack him.
• Wang Xiaoqiang exposed the decomposed corpse hidden beneath his human skin, and Yang Jian used his ghost shadow to tear off Wang Xiaoqiang’s face.
• Ye Feng grabbed the ghost shadow, but it could not possess him, and he revealed that his burial garment protected him from other ghosts.

Yang Jian used the Ghost Rope to counter Ye Feng after learning that Ye Feng's ghost shroud and unknown second ghost made him difficult to harm. The revived rope filled the Ghost Domain and left both men facing its attacks.

• Ye Feng advanced on Yang Jian, confident that Yang Jian had exhausted his abilities, while blood dripped from beneath his shroud.
• Yang Jian shifted his restricted Ghost Domain into a nearby villa and retrieved the Ghost Rope from a sealed golden bag.
• Ye Feng pursued Yang Jian and blocked two gunshots with his Ghost Shroud.
• Yang Jian tore open the bag and threw the Ghost Rope at Ye Feng, who recognized it and tried to discard it.
• Ghost Ropes appeared throughout the Ghost Domain, attacking both men as Yang Jian declared that Ye Feng would die first.

Yang Jian used his Ghost Domain and a ghost candle to outlast Ye Feng, whose burial shroud protected him from the ghost ropes but steadily hastened his own revival. As the ropes filled the road, Ye Feng began forcing his way toward Yang Jian, leaving their confrontation unresolved.

• Yang Jian and Ye Feng argued over whose ghosts would revive first, and Yang Jian said his Ghost Domain could send Ye Feng's escaping ghost far away if he died.
• Ghost ropes surrounded both men, but the burial shroud deflected the ropes that landed on Ye Feng while its power continued turning him into a corpse.
• Yang Jian lit a ghost candle that kept the ropes away from him, and Ye Feng realized the candle could burn for at least an hour.
• Yang Jian taunted Ye Feng about the candle and suggested trading the burial shroud for one, while Ye Feng's body continued to deteriorate beneath it.
• Ye Feng pushed through the ghost ropes and started walking toward Yang Jian, who waited more than a hundred meters away.
